Very fast, faster booting times and opening programs.

From full off,..... 8 second Boot time - What's NOT to like!

When you first look at the Extreme PRO series you will raise an eyebrow and will start to wonder that exactly has been changed over the Extreme II series from SanDisk. Well, when we purely talk about peak performance, sure nothing much.

Without a doubt, the Extreme II was one of the best SSDs we ever tested, and I wasn't sure if any company would be able to best its performance with a SATA based product. Little did I know it would be SanDisk looking to raise the bar again, this time with exceptional engineering rather than brute...

When we took at look at SanDisk's Extreme II series of solid state drives in June of last year, we began our article by noting, "odds are, if you've bought anything that uses flash memory in the last 20 years or so, you already own a small piece of SanDisk technology.

Strong Performance; Excellent Warranty

Somewhat Pricier Than Some Competing Drives

Fairly recently I had the opportunity to take a look at a SanDisk Ultra II 240GB SSD and it certainly didn't disappoint. This time we have an SSD from the fastest range SanDisk have to offer, the SanDisk Extreme PRO 480GB, but is it as Extreme as its namesake?

PCSTATS is testing out SanDisk's Extreme 240GB SSD, a 6Gb/s SATA III drive rated to 550MB/s Read and 520MB/s Write (sequential) in ATTO Disk Benchmark. SanDisk's Extreme SSD uses 24nm Toggle Mode MLC NAND Flash and the popular LSI SandForce SF-2281 controller.

Good Read and Write Performance; Ten-Year Warranty

The Extreme Pro is among the fastest SATA SSDs you can buy today; it's reasonably priced and it ships with a 10-year warranty

It's outdone by the performance of Samsung's 850 Pro and we would've liked to have seen hardware encryption included
